3 reasons the Browns are going to smoke the Bengals

Please note: At least 50 percent of the “takes” in this article are humorous and should not be read by anyone.

The Cleveland Browns are home for the last time this season as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are on the cusp of taking back their rightful place of basement dwellers of the AFC North. A Cleveland victory today will seal their fate and that is exactly what is going to happen.

Here we take a look at three reasons why the Bengals are going to get demolished.

Cincinnati football is the equivalent of Cincinnati Chili

The vast majority of Cincinnati residents are very prideful about their city. That are also prideful about Cincinnati chili and will go out of their way to tell everyone how good it is. This tends to happen with the Bengals as well and just like the chili, they always come up short. Oh sure, you may get someone really talking it up, but then you take one bite and know you just ate an early-playoff-exit failure of a meal. You quickly understand that normal citizens who interact with Cincinnati folks get blindsided with bad chili that is talked up for no reason. Much like football, a large portion of Cincinnati folks will talk it up and when you see the product on the field you have no idea why.

Jeff Driskel is a nerd

The Browns were already stomping Cincinnati and their failed “franchise quarterback,” Andy Dalton before he was injured. Then came in Jeff Driskel who led the Bengals to some scoring drives before Cleveland finally put the clamps onto him. Driskel has been below average since coming in, but there has actually been a small minority of Bengal fans whispering that he could be the guy to take over for Dalton.

You don’t see this conversation happening anywhere other than the water cooler and there seems to be a consensus outside of the southwestern Ohio area that Driskel is and always will be a backup. That won’t stop certain members of the Bengal faithful to call out for Driskel as they did for AJ McCarron back when he was in Cincinnati.

Fun fact: McCarron could never beat out Andy Dalton for the starting job and failed to beat out Nathan Peterman in Buffalo.

The Browns are wearing their color rush uniforms

There has been talk of Cleveland redoing their uniforms in a couple of years when they become eligible to do so again. The fan response to the color rush uniforms, that first appeared in the Browns victory over the Jets, has been extremely positive. Cleveland’s social media accounts have gone out of their way to advertise the few opportunities they’ve had to wear them this year. The NFL shop can’t seem to keep them in stock and the players enjoy them.

The Browns will be at home for the final time this year in a sellout. They will be wearing their color rush uniforms which give them superpowers and they will not disappoint the fans today. This is the start of the future for the city and they’re sending everyone out with a bang.
